Alpha-heir and active-duty marine Kyle Clarey never meant to challenge his uncle for the pack, but his uncle’s betrayal left him little choice. Abused and bullied by his brother, Cyrus Armstrong is forced to deceive Kyle into thinking he can be the omega mate Kyle needs and to give him pups. Cyrus promises himself he will tell the gorgeous Alpha before things go any further, but then he goes into heat unexpectedly and wakes the next morning in Kyle’s bed along with a large mating bite on his neck. Knowing Kyle’s punishment will be severe when he realizes he’s been fooled, and he will probably die. When Cyrus realizes what is actually going to happen, he might wish he had.
